California sucks!

Ducimus · 12-09-10, 07:30 PM

I decided to start my own thread for the sole purpose of complaining about my home state whenever the urge should occur.

In this episode of California sucks:

(wow, thats the future of this state your seeing there!)

Amature attempt at comedy, but he makes a few points.

You know, a fix-it ticket used to cost 25 bucks. That was over 5 years ago. I think the same ticket now runs you well over a 100 bucks.

In our next episode of California sucks, I'll examine traffic and/or overcrowding issues!

Thank you and have a great day.

PS. I was born and raised here. All my family is here, and yet, leaving this hell hole to live in any other state but here, will be a dream come true.

I grew up in a sh!thole. I got out as soon as I was 18, and never went back. I don't regret leaving, but I've not yet found a place where I feel I belong. As the saying goes, "You can take the man out of [place name]..."

Only thing is, those plans could come into fruition as early as the end january, or as late as may or june. Time (and layoffs) will tell.

onelifecrisis · 12-09-10, 07:55 PM

Which state are you heading to?

It really is a shame about California.

It is a beautiful place. Some of the best flying i have ever done in my life has been into and out of California. From San Fran to San Diego and most points in between - socal is a beauty.

but the whole place is terribly mismanaged and is a haven for special interest agendas.

I feel your pain Duc. I live in ore-gone, and whatever kali-fornia does, ore-gone must do too.

I call OR the West Virginia of the West.

I thought most of CA moved to UT anyway?

I grew up in Southern California and am glad I was able to leave. I understand that other parts of CA are pretty nice, but I really can't recommend Southern California.

Ore-gone is run by the public unions. 1 in 6 works for the state and draws a state pension. The state was funded by the timber industry, the greenies have wiped out the timber industry in this state. AND ore-gone uses up the vast majority of the national timber fund. (timber welfare: feds paying not to cut down trees.) The re-tread guv has made crystal clear, ore-gone will be at the head of the line with it's hand out looking for money.

Here's a hint:

I've been to San Fran, it was nice except for all of the pan handlers, which the city will do nothing about. And the sales tax there! @#$%@%$ crickey!
